by Peter MacNab

A revealing account of life on the Scottish island of Mull during the first quarter of the 20th century, focusing especially on the years of WWI, from the son of the governor of Mull's poorhouse (one of the last in the Hebrides). Peter MacNab's 'fisherman's yarns' and other personal reminiscences are delightfully told by a born storyteller. Now 94, his unparalleled knowledge and deep feeling for Mull and its people make this great reading.
